Gastric Bypass Operation for Obesity
Abstract
Gastric bypass is considered by many to be the gold standard for surgical treatment of obesity. Gastric bypass was a natural evolution from gastric operations that were used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Gastric bypass, first described in 1967, has undergone many modifications. It presently exists as a hybrid operation. Gastric bypass operation has been extensively scrutinized and evaluated against other operations for the treatment of obesity. Co‐morbidities due to severe obesity are usually ameliorated or arrested after the weight loss from gastric bypass. Gastric bypass operation is now being performed with a perioperative morbidity of less than 10%. The average percentage excess weight loss with gastric bypass is 70%. The success rate, defined as 50% excess weight loss after at least 2 years of follow‐up, is 85%. The metabolic deficiencies of gastric bypass are controllable with supplemental intake. This report with special references to the Fobi pouch operation, a modification of gastric bypass done by the author, presents the evolution, modifications, risks, outcome, and future trends of gastric bypass for treatment of obesity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
